Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5--5 of Figure 3;

' Figure 6' is a sectional view taken on the line In-carrying out the invention, there is provided an outer casing formed'of any desiredwaterproof material being generally designated by 1 the reference numeral l having: a hollowtop closure orcover 2 hinged thereto at 3, and provided with a knob. handle t and fastening or cover-securing hooks 5; A drawer i5 having a knob handle- 7 will be provided in a lower -compartmnt '8'Within the casing I, said casingh'av- Bil ing-a-bottom. 9 and a falseibottom I0.- The opposite ends of the casing and'cover will be stepped or angled so as to permit the top or cover?" to be opened to a vertical position when the casing l-is placed adjacent to or in contact with a vertical'wall.

integral removableunit -0r receptacle H is preferablyformed-of glass, and isadapted to be positioned withinthe casing I in such a manner that it will be supported upon the false bottom Ill and will extend flush with the upper edge of the-casingi. oppositely disposed depending integral flan'ges or supporting legs 12 and l 3= will be formed along the lower opposite ends of the receptacle H to form a'well l4 in thebottom of thesa'id receptacle I I and a sterilizing fluid .55 will be placed in the casing l to completely fill the same after the: receptacle 1 I is in position.

The inner receptacle H is formed with a plurality ofsl'ots or well's extending downwardly into its body fo'r receiving the various barbers implements. A slot or well I6 will be formed in the left rear corner of the receptacle H for containing a quantity of antiseptic fluid I1, and will have no openings or ports extending from its :bottom to the bottom of the receptacle H, as do all of the other slots or wells later to be described.

To the right of the slot or well I6 is formed a slot or well l8 for receiving a portion of a clipper or any other implement used by a barber, said slot or well being provided with the downwardly extending ports or passages l9 connecting with the well l4 in the bottom of the receptacle ll, so that the sterilizing fluid l5 may pass upwardly vention.

well 26 for the reception of a straight razor 21, Y

r and said slot or well ZBQWill likewise be formed with a pair ofdepending .ports orpassagesflZB through which the sterilizing fiuidli mayenter to, fill said slot,or welltosterilize the razor when placed therein. 7 V

A transversely extending slot orwell29 will'be formed in the front edge of thetop of the receptaclel I. for receiving av comb 30, .and .a pair-of downwardly .extendingports or passages 31' will extend from theslot or well 29 to the bottom of the receptacle ,1! .for permitting the sterilizing,

fluid to pass upwardly therethroughyto filllsaid;

Finger notches 32 will be formed at one orboth endsoi the slot or well 29 for, readily. removing the comb 30.1 x s A slight space will be provided around the, sides of the receptacle il between the'samesand the casing l to permit the sterilizingfluid t5 to com-:

pletely surround the receptacle ll and1.pass -up through the bores to'fill the slots or wells therein:, 7 From the foregoing description it will be ap-;

parent that there has been devised and provided ahighly efiicient form of sterilizer for barbers implements which will berelatively inexpensive to manufacture and produce. y

- While the preferred embodiment of :the'instant invention has been illustrated and described,.it.

will beunderstood that it'is not intended to limit the scope of the inventiongth'ereto, as many .minor changes in detail of construction may beresorted to without departure from the Having thus described invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat- V entv of the United States is: e
